Protamine sulphate is a drug used to treat bleeding caused by heparin overdose. It reduces the risk of bleeding by neutralizing the anticoagulant effect of heparin. Protamine sulfate is commonly used during surgery or other situations where rapid reversal of the effects of heparin is required. In Hong Kong, doctors may use protamine sulfate when heparin overdose causes bleeding. Patients should have their blood pressure and coagulation function closely monitored while receiving this medication to ensure effectiveness and safety. Protamine sulfate may cause allergic reactions, so patients should inform their doctor of any history of allergies. When using protamine sulfate, strictly follow your doctor's recommendations and dosage, and avoid adjusting the dosage or frequency on your own.

The drug can be given by intravenous injection or subcutaneous injection. When using it, you should follow your doctor's instructions and do not adjust the dosage or usage by yourself.

Dosage Guidelines: The usual dose of protease sulfate for adults is 25 to 50 mg each time, depending on the severity of the patient's condition, and may be repeated every 4 to 6 hours. For children, dosage is based on age and weight, usually 1 to 2 mg per dose.
